Finally! With a few warm days, we’re really getting the itch for Spring, and who can blame anyone? It’s been a rough winter…one that most of us weren’t prepared for. Frost went deeper into the ground than it has in forever, snow kept piling up, the winds felt colder…all in all, I think we’re all ready for some sunshine and warmth. And with the Spring, comes gardens! After all, Norfolk County is considered “Ontario’s Garden”, the sign driving in says so! I’ve spoken to a couple people who are experts in this, and I’ve had a hand in outside gardening for a while now myself. Here are some tips you might want to consider… (more…)

my daughter enjoying a day at the office with me…
Geez, I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I’ve made a post here. I’ve been slacking. But with this incredible weather, I’ve been spending a lot of time on the beach, so I haven’t had the time to write! Maybe everyone else should follow suit 😉 (more…)

Just one of the places you need to find.
No seriously. Get Lost.
If you’re from Norfolk County and you haven’t already done this, you’re missing out! Truly, we’re in one of the most beautiful counties that Ontario has to offer, and I beg that you give this a try… (more…)

Can you smell that? It’s Spring coming on! And that means there are a lot of people getting excited about one thing…golf! One of the things that makes Norfolk County incredible is the golf courses we have here. I have clients that move in from out of the area ask me about it fairly often…how many courses we have, where they are, and which ones are the best to play. We have some simply stunning courses, and ones to cater to every skill level. I love to golf, but I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a great golfer. I’m fair, at best. But because I’m expected to be an expert on my area, I felt that I really should know every course (it was a great excuse to play around a lot last summer!), and from that, I’ve chosen to write about my favourite 3. Maybe you’ll agree with me, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll even get out to try something new out! (more…)
